AD: Airbus

AD NUMBER: 2005-20-20
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2005-20-20
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A330-301, -321,-322, -341, and -342 airplanes; and Model A340-200 and A340-300 series airplanes. This AD requires installing lockplates on the main landing gear (MLG) and center landing gear (CLG) wheel assemblies, as applicable, to keep the tie bolts in position in the wheel assembly in the event of a tie bolt failure. This AD results from reports of tie bolts that were broken or missing from the MLG wheel assembly; in some cases the wheels have ruptured and caused damage to other equipment in the adjacent area. We are issuing this AD to prevent damage to the wheel assembly and equipment in the area adjacent to the MLG and CLG, which could result in a decrease in braking function and possible runway over-run.
